Chapter 13 What's Your Name

People want what they cannot have; this was prominent in Liam's case. He pursed his lips and held out his fingers, gently touching the side of Gwyneth's face. He enjoyed the warmth.

Liam was a mess since he saw Gwyneth's burn mark at the hospital. He even tried to learn more about the differences between burns and scalds. It was not because he did not believe her but because the truth was too important.

Gwyneth frowned and grabbed his hand because Liam was disturbing her sleep. His pupils dilated at her touch, and he squinted his eyes to hide his feelings.

'This woman literally changed overnight after signing the divorce papers,' Liam thought. "Just how much are you hiding from me?" He asked as he slowly pulled away from Gwyneth's hand. He tucked in her loose hair, and the corners of his lips turned into a smile.

Liam had reoccurring dreams about the fire from his childhood recently. The smell of burned wood filled his nostrils, and the image of burning flames filled his eyes. He thought his life was going to end right there and then. However, a girl much smaller than him appeared unexpectedly and grabbed his hand without hesitation.

Liam closed his eyes as he felt the scorching heat from the flames. Suddenly, he heard a scream right beside his ears. "Ahh!" Liam knew that it was the sound of someone suffering from pain.

The two got out of the fire after some time. The sky was dark then, but Liam still remembered what the girl looked like. Though her face was covered in soot, she was beautiful.

"What's your name..." Liam asked weakly, his voice extremely hoarse. Unfortunately, he passed out before he could get the girl's answer. He was already in the hospital when he opened his eyes again, and the little girl was nowhere to be found.

"Mmm..." Liam heard a soft murmur and was pulled back to reality. He saw Gwyneth frowning, trying to change her sleeping posture. It was clear that she was not in a comfortable position.

Liam smiled faintly. He reached out, almost subconsciously, and pulled Gwyneth's body toward him, letting her lean her head on his shoulders. Gwyneth's breathing became faster, which stirred up something in his heart. He could feel her breathing and slowly closed his eyes after a few seconds.

Gwyneth slept unusually well after changing her position. When she heard the landing announcement, she slowly opened her eyes. Her neck was a little sore, presumably because she had slept in one position for so long. That said, she had never slept so soundly on a plane before. She usually just got to rest her eyes despite being extremely tired due to the lack of security she developed after experiencing a fire when she was younger. 'What happened today?' she thought.

Gwyneth tried to move but could feel that something was wrong. She froze for a few seconds. Then, she heard a voice coming from above her head. "Did you sleep well, Mrs. Luther?"

Suddenly, she became alert. 'I forgot that the psycho is sitting right beside me!' She thought, starting to stress out.

    Slowly turning her head, Gwyneth saw Liam's strong jawline and the upturned corner of his mouth. Other than that, she noticed a wet stain on his shirt. The thought of her sleeping while leaning against Liam made her want to jump off the plane."What? Did you not sleep well? Well, I think..." When Gwyneth heard the flirtatious voice coming from beside her ear, she immediately got up to leave before Liam could finish his sentence. However, her legs were not as quick as his hands.Liam firmly grasped Gwyneth's wrist and said, "Don't you have other strategies apart from running away?""Who cares as long as it's effective?!" She turned to meet his eyes and gritted her teeth. She shook her arm vigorously, trying to get away. However, with one pull from Liam, she fell to the seat due to inertia."You—" she was about to curse him when his handsome face approached her. "We're on a plane, Mrs. Luther. There's nowhere for you to escape."Gwyneth blinked and looked at the man in front of her.

    The following day, Judy was preparing herself backstage at the piano competition venue. However, it was less about preparing and more about enjoying the attention of the many men surrounding her. Her background and appearance made it nearly impossible for her not to be noticed. Besides, she reveled in being surrounded by admirers, even though she did not care for any of them. As she finished applying her makeup, she caught a glimpse of a familiar figure in the corner of her eye. She immediately shook off the men around her and strode forward."Liam, you really came."To Judy's knowledge, Liam rarely attended such events. But, now that he was here, it must be for her sake. She was ecstatic, not only because she held a special place in Liam's heart but also because she was sure to win the competition with him present. This international piano competition was highly regarded in the industry, and winning it would be akin to taking a significant step forward in high society. Eager to take

    Judy saw Gwyneth sitting in the middle of the panel, her eyes filled with laughter as the latter looked at her. Liam was seated in the guest area. Compared to Judy's surprise, his shock was beyond words. In their three years of marriage, he could not recall a single time when she had practiced the piano."Please welcome our next contestant, Judy."Upon hearing the host's words, Judy's heart trembled. She gritted her teeth, her eyes blazing with anger as she stared at Gwyneth. 'How dare this woman look down on me?' Despite Liam's presence in the guest area, she steeled herself and walked onto the main stage, determined to win his favor during this performance. Hearing the cheers from the audience, Judy forced a smile that looked more painful than tears.Gwyneth, sitting at the judges' table, could not help but laugh out loud at the scene. As expected, Judy made two mistakes during her performance, and her rhythm was a complete mess. Gwyneth frowned, then spoke softly. "That's enough,

    'Gwyneth? Could it be that all of my efforts were misguided?' Liam pondered with mixed emotions as he returned to the venue after hanging up the phone.As the music ended, Gwyneth's fingertips slid off the piano keys. Though she had not wanted to take the stage, every moment spent immersed in the music had been a pleasure. As thunderous applause erupted from the audience, a smile graced the corner of her lips. She rose and bowed gracefully at a ninety-degree angle to the audience. As she straightened, her eyes met Liam's in the guest seats. Her smile shifted ever so slightly, and her brow raised with a hint of provocation."Now the stage can be returned to the contestants." Seeing the host nodding hastily, Gwyneth chuckled and stepped down, ignoring Judy entirely.Two hours later, the competition results were announced, and Judy lost. The outcome was not too difficult to explain; it was merely a matter of skill. But what was more serious was Judy's behavior of publicly challenging a

    Unexpectedly, Gwyneth bumped into Judy just around the corner. 'What a small world,' she thought.Judy probably had not expected to run into Gwyneth either, and the anger from the competition immediately resurfaced. "Gwyneth! What is the meaning of this? Did you know I was competing and deliberately set me up in front of all those people?" Her emotions surged, and she took a step forward. "You divorced Liam, and now you're jealous? Are you trying to humiliate me in front of him?"These accusatory questions left Gwyneth at a loss for words. She did not know how to respond when Judy added drama to the situation and even displayed hints of paranoia. Gwyneth sighed helplessly, thinking to herself, 'If I can't confront it head-on, I might as well dodge the bullet.' As she turned to leave, Judy grabbed her arm, her eyes filled with tears, but she was looking past Gwyneth."Liam, come and settle this. Running into my sister was a coincidence, but she just won't let it go and is even bullyi

    Upon disembarking from the plane, Gwyneth did not wait for Wesley; instead, she made a beeline for the exit as if her life depended on it. She initially planned to return to her apartment, but with all her belongings still at the Luther residence, she reluctantly changed her destination. However, upon reaching the mansion's entrance, she found herself blocked. Surrounded by journalists both inside and out, she turned to leave but was caught in the throng."Gwyneth, is it true that you and Liam have divorced?""Will AMC Group and Luther Corporation collaborate in the future?""Do you have anything to say about Liam recently accompanying Miss Lisle at the hospital?"As the barrage of questions rained down, Gwyneth felt overwhelmed. Then, realizing that Liam would be returning soon, she panicked. "Regarding my relationship with Liam, we will hold a press conference to answer all your questions in a few days." Spotting a gap in the crowd of reporters, Gwyneth made a break for it but wa

    Liam gently patted Elizabeth's hand, signaling her to relax. Then, after instructing the doctor to keep a close watch on her, he stepped out of the hospital room and called Gwyneth.Gwyneth's mood was already less than pleasant due to the ambiguous photo. To make matters worse, she received a call from the person responsible, though who that person truly was remained a matter of debate. She rolled her eyes and answered, "What do you want?"Since disembarking from the plane the day before, Liam had not seen Gwyneth. Although they lived in the same mansion, given their current relationship, he did not feel it was appropriate to disturb her. Remembering the last couple of days they had spent together, Liam's eyes softened as soon as the call connected."I'm at the hospital."Even if she did not want to admit it, Gwyneth's heartbeat quickened at the mention of the word 'hospital.' "You're at the hospital? What happened?"Liam, detecting the change in Gwyneth's tone, was quite satisfie

    At the hospital, near the revolving door entrance, Gwyneth gritted her teeth, her wrist held firmly by someone. She had tried to come up with an excuse to escape Liam by saying she needed to go to the locker room to change out of her white coat. But she had not expected that she could not avoid him even after leaving through a side door. It made her wonder just how many spies Liam had placed throughout the hospital."What on earth do you want?" Frustrated, Gwyneth turned to face the expressionless man. The hospital was bustling, and many people had already cast curious glances in their way. 'He may have no shame, but I still do.'"I told you I want to thank you by having a meal together," Liam replied calmly, feeling her cool skin against his palm, somewhat reluctant to let go."Mr. Luther, your former lover is recovering well and is in a condition where she can be discharged." Gwyneth raised an eyebrow, her voice carrying a suggestive tone."So?""So, can you stop clinging to me?

    After a restful night, Gwyneth returned to Greer College to meet up with Willa… Willa, for one, had placed high value on their meeting, to the point where she had postponed a class just so that they could discuss things without any interruption. Stirring her coffee, Willa chuckled as she muttered, “So, before moving on, let me apologize if I came off as snobbish the first time we met… I just have high standards since I want my work to be loved by many, you know? With that out of the way, let’s talk about the collaboration… I admit I like the plot, but… There are several conditions that you need to think about before we can proceed.” Nodding in response, Gwyneth found herself surprised that her demands weren’t outrageous at all. In fact, Gwyneth would’ve followed those principles even if Willa hadn’t brought them up! Though this was nothing to Gwyneth, it meant the world to Willa. After all, it was hard to find someone so honest these days, and she was rather grateful that she h

    After putting some distance between them, Aubrey couldn’t help but ask, “…Are you sure she’ll agree…? If you need help, I do know a few scriptwriters that could easily replace Willa…” Sure, she had faith in her friend, but Aubrey seemed like a tough nut to crack… It didn’t help that there were so many other competent screenwriters out there to compete with! To her dismay, Gwyneth simply grinned and replied, “Don’t worry, I have a feeling that she’ll soon see things the way I do…” Just as Aubrey was about to sigh in defeat, a young man suddenly ran up to them and said, “Well hey there, ladies… Where to?” It was clear that he had his eyes on Gwyneth, and following a smirk, Aubrey replied, “Kid, you’re years too early to try hitting on us…” Sheepishly scratching the back of his head, the man muttered, “I mean, can I at least have your number…?” Naturally, Gwyneth wasn’t about to humor this person, especially since he was already starting to annoy her.
